Gina Manages IBS, Anemia, Joint Pain, Migraines, Anxiety, And Mood

Gina's Path to Healing with the Keto-Carnivore Diet

Lifelong Athlete, Sudden Decline

Gina, a 52-year-old wife, mom, and dental hygienist, had spent her adult life immersed in physical activity. From weightlifting in her 20s to karate in her 30s and marathon running into her 40s and 50s, fitness was central to her identity.

But in 2019, preparing to celebrate her 50th birthday with a 50-mile race, Gina’s health began to spiral. Severe fatigue, numbness, and muscle heaviness left her unable to run. With tests for MS returning negative, she was left without answers.


The Vegan Detour

In desperation, Gina turned to veganism—encouraged by her running partner and plant-based documentaries. For 18 months, she followed a whole-food vegan lifestyle. But her health only worsened. She developed gallbladder pain and eventually had it removed. Her long-standing IBS became debilitating. She experienced severe anemia, joint and bone pain, brain fog, and rapid weight gain.

Her physical condition deteriorated to the point of contemplating leaving her job. Still, she didn’t initially connect the dots between her diet and her health.


Discovery and Transition to Keto-Carnivore

Gina stumbled upon a blog titled “Why I Am No Longer Vegan.” For the first time, she questioned whether her diet could be the cause. That moment launched her into researching keto-carnivore lifestyles and the experiences of others who had healed through it.

She transitioned slowly—removing vegetables, keeping oatmeal temporarily, and increasing her meat intake. By mid-December 2022, she was fully keto-carnivore.


Transformational Results

The transformation was remarkable. Gina lost the 20 pounds she had gained. Her joint and bone pain disappeared. Migraines dropped by 90%. Her mental clarity returned. But most importantly, her IBS vanished. After years of discomfort and preoccupation with gut health, Gina could finally live free from digestive distress.

She’s back to lifting weights and feels stronger and more vibrant than she has in years. Her renewed energy and clarity are so impactful, she’s begun sharing the keto-carnivore message with her dental patients.


Looking Forward

​Gina is passionate about the keto-carnivore lifestyle—not just for herself, but for others trapped in metabolic illness. With renewed hope, she looks to the future with confidence, strength, and a deep desire to help others heal as she has.

Rowan Improved Cardiovascular Health, Treated Arthritis

After struggling with weight loss and finding keto difficult to maintain, this person discovered the carnivore diet through Shawn Baker's Joe Rogan appearance in December 2017. They lost 36 pounds (from 216 to 180), eliminated arthritis in their left hand (which had a surgically reattached finger), normalized blood pressure from prehypertension, and experienced improved mental clarity and stress response.I was struggling trying to lose weight, and found keto so hard to stick to, so easy to fall off. I heard Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan and decided to look into it. I spent about 2 or 3 weeks checking out the info, and asking people on the Zeroing in on Health forum on Facebook numerous questions. After that, I was convinced it was worth trying keto-carnivore for a month. I began on the keto-carnivore diet on December 12th 2017. I've never even had to consider changing back. I was 216 lbs, and I am now 180. I had arthritis in my left hand, which hand had to have a finger surgically reattached to it after it was ripped off in an accident 13 years prior; but the arthritis went away after 2 weeks keto-carnivore. I had prehypertension, but my blood pressure (measured on three separate occasions) is normal. I feel better, I think clearer, and I respond to stress better than at any time in my life. ​I never intend to stop being a keto-carnivore.
